this has been a long time comming. This is the future as we know it, not bluray or hd dvd, but downloads. |
sadlydownlaods are a while off. And streaming media is even farther. Its all due to internet speeds. Microsoft maybe able to offer the service but very few people will be willing to download 720p movies let alone 1080p pr the next round of resolutions 1440p, 1800p, or 4k. The file sizes will be anywhere from 15Gbs - 80GB which even on my internet which is 15mbps it would take me 2 days to download a 40Gb movie if the host server is fast enough to support a 15mbps download. |
I think your numbers are a bit off. Isn't a connection speed running at 15mbps = 1.875 MB/s (since 1 bit = 1/8 byte)? That would give 112,5 MB per minute, and approx 6.5 GB per hour, meaning a 40GB movie would take 6 hours to download with your 15mbps connection ssj12, not 48 hours. | ssj12 said: The transition to the super HD resolutions will take roughly 10 years but during the 10 years Blu-ray will have expanded it's available size to fit 4k+, before anyone questions the point of 4k+ movies are already being shot in 5k+ resolutions, 100GBs should be plenty to fit 4k+ and maybe 5k+if you go to the 8 layered Blu-ray discs (200GBs). |
The bolded part made me curious. Can you remember where you've heard this, and do you know if it's a new and/or common trend to film movies in such high res (maybe they do it only for movies meant for IMAX...?)?

yep the 5k+ resolution is for IMAX HD films. Actually to be correct the alst resolution for IMAX HD I saw it would be 7K+ now. lol
Also you are right on the downlaod speed. Sadly most host servers only give like 400kb/s max, 600kb/s for filefront and a few others, which is sad to see for people with fast download speed.
